        Verdict

        GOODBYE CASH should appreciate the drop in trip and he is selected ahead of Billberry and Fine Silk. This hardy individual almost stole a nine furlong event at Kempton last time but he has appeared an out and out seven furlong specialist and on a course where he is proven, we are happy to give him our nomination. Billberry is back to a winnable mark. Expect to see him making ground as they swoop off the home turn. Fine Silk represents a yard that have had a few gambles in the ring of late.It would be of no surprise to us were this filly given the office from the gate. Kyle has ability though has proved a severe disappointment. Johnny Skull has raced almost exclusively at Southwell of late so it remains to be seen as to whether a switch to the polytrack sparks a change in fortunes. Matthew Cosham has caught the eye of a few judges of late and the 7lb claimer takes the mount aboard the Micky Quinn trained, Waterloo Dock. Goodbye Cash is typical of the sort that his trainer excels with and he can go in again.
